As of 2015, Henriksen, a published reporter from the AltPress database, stated “The majority of the Oscar voters are nearly 94 percent Caucasian and 77 percent male” (Henriksen). There is a need for a more diverse…

place mainly in Soledad, California where Lennie and George struggle to survive. The setting of the story takes place in the 1930’s, which is clearly depicted within the movie, especially how much different society was compared to today. However, the actors did not come up to par with expectations of the novel. Out-of-date film techniques were wisefully used to make key scenes in the film appear more dramatic. In addition, some scenes were accurately portrayed, while some did not fulfill the…

Unlike Glass Menagerie, however, it was clear to tell that the characters had their lines memorised cleanly and had time after memorization to characterise better. The actors had put work into the production and with everything combined (The accents, characterization, memorization, etc.), It was hard to differentiate between the actors and the characters…

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet was put on by the Brown/Trinity MFA program. In the 2nd year of the program, the students put on two Shakespearean plays simultaneously. The cast is also in rep meaning, it is the same cast of actors for both productions. For the Brown Trinity MFA program, the leads in one of the shows will be minor characters for the other.

A musical theatre actor specializes in acting, while also singing and dancing to music. "In this career, you must memorize lines and actions from a script and perform them in the manner of the character you 're portraying. This job requires you to research characters, study script dialogue and rehearse performances so you may give an accurate character portrayal" ("Actor or…

I always say, "There 's nothing like a good indie film." Well, at least, that 's what I say this year. I have only discovered the wonderful world of indie films in the past few months, but I 'm sold. When I happened upon the film How Can I Help? I was intrigued by the title and the premise. Furthermore, when Stephen Kassen (director, producer, writer, etc.) agreed to answer a few questions about the film, I was even more fascinated.
